Smoky Mtn Observations

A cold front will yield light snow primarily in higher elevations with warm ground and marginal surface temperatures preventing valley accumulations tonight. Then a pause is likely during the day on Sunday before the second round of snow Sunday night through Monday brings several inches of snow to the higher elevations, with mountain tops seeing isolated spots to 6 inches. Elevations 2500 to 4000 feet may see 1-3 inches, and the valley around Tri-Cities north into Virginia may see a half inch up to an inch of snowfall during Sunday night into Monday evening.

Winter makes a return next week as most locations will have highs only in the 30s on Monday. The mountains and SW Virginia will have light snow accumulations Saturday night and again on Sunday night and Monday. Wind chills below zero will be possible in the mountains Monday morning.

Temperatures turn colder on Sunday and Monday, along with light to moderate snow accumulations expected across east TN and southwest VA mountains. Additionally, gusty winds for all areas Sunday and Monday. Warmer temperatures by the middle of next week along with more chances for rain.
